Masking Region in Family Not working

Hello

 

I have furniture family, in which I want to add masking region above it, so it masks when loaded into the project.

 

I added the masking region on the reference plane in the family and didn't make any difference when loaded. Than I draw the masking region above the reference plane and when loaded into the project, it only masked the furniture itself.

 

How can I make the mask work properly?

Like this:

Use Edit Workplane to host Masking Region - and Symbolic Linework (not Model Linework) - to an above named Ref. Plane/Workplane by unchecking Draw in Foreground .

 

Method described here:

@barthbradley I loaded your family into the project and it didn't work. Also, checked the family and it's as you described it. Any suggestion?

Place all the Symbolic Linework on the "Symboliv Linework" Work Plane. Leave the Masking Region on the "Masking Region" Work Plane.

@barthbradley I don't know why it doesn't work for me. I am using the exact same family you attached.

 

I am uploading the same family in new project. Please take a look.

Make that Symbolic and Masking Region Linework in a Detail Family.

Option B:

 

Floor with Surface Pattern:

@barthbradley Masking in detail family works on its own when loaded inside the project. If I place the detail family inside the original furniture family, than it doesn't work.  What is the point of having two families than? 

 

Can you share screencast of the whole process?

Screencast of what?  Option B?  I just created a Floor and assigned it a Material that uses your Filled Region Pattern as the Material's Surface Pattern.

Filled regions in a family only mask model elements in project (such as a floor with surface patterns), NOT detail items in project (such as the filled region that you have there).

@barthbradley How do you draw the linework and masking region on two separate ref. planes when there is only one plane available in Detail Item family template?

 

The family you uploaded didn't have detail item inside. Can you please share the steps?

@barthbradley or better, share the final furniture family with the nested detail family inside it.

@barthbradley 

Is it possible to have furniture family (model family) with 2D lines as I have, and then tweak it so that the furniture family with 2D lines masks detail region inside the project, in order to have furniture family instead of detail family?

 

I would like the category to be Furniture and I would like to mask detail items (Detail Region) and model items (Floor Surface) inside the project.

I don't understand what you are doing, but it doesn't sound very BIM to me.  Revit is a Building Information MODELING software.  Why aren't you modeling?
